feat(submission): finalize hackathon deliverables — 24-turn 6/6 eval, hybrid policy, gitignored summary
565ba48 6 months ago
32.4 kB
"""Inference-time policies for the Neon Syndicate environment.
Three policies are exposed so the UI can stage a fair, side-by-side race:
* ``RandomPolicy`` -- uniform over the 7 legal action types with random args.
* ``HeuristicPolicy`` -- a hand-coded curriculum that always finishes a mission
  if the env is cooperative (used as a baseline and as a fallback when the
  trained checkpoint cannot be loaded).
* ``TrainedPolicy`` -- the PPO-trained Qwen2.5 / GPT2 checkpoint produced by
  ``training/train_trl_ppo.py``. Loaded lazily so the FastAPI app stays
  importable on machines without ``torch``/``transformers``.
Every policy implements ``act(observation)`` (returns a dict ready for ``Action``)
and ``act_with_trace(observation)`` which additionally returns the prompt sent
to the model, the raw decoded text, latency, and whether the heuristic
fallback was triggered. The trace is what powers the "model's mind" panel in
the play UI -- a thing most agent demos hide.
